Milan. The architectural watercolors by Sara Salvemini at Antonia Jannone

Sara Salvemini illustrates today’s Milan through 25 watercolors in which architectural views overlap with everyday lives.

Architect and urban planner, for some years Sara Salvemini has carried out a parallel design project, now on show at Antonia Jannone gallery. “A city” is a collection of watercolors that have as their protagonist Milan, with its architecture and inhabitants. “Sometimes there are those unmistakable and representative architectures of Milan”, says Salvemini. “But other times there are situations that could be everywhere, in other cities (perhaps European). The main subject therefore is not architecture, but men and women that move in a space that always remains in the background.”
